Begin by bringing 4 cups of water to a rolling boil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat.

Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and add 1 cup of dandelion leaves along with 1 tablespoon of dandelion roots. Stir gently to combine.

Allow the blend to steep for 15 minutes, maintaining a low simmer.

After the steeping time has passed, remove the saucepan from heat and carefully strain the tea into your favorite cups.

Add honey or maple syrup to sweeten according to your preference, stirring well to ensure it’s fully dissolved. If desired, add a splash of fresh lemon juice.

Serve hot or let it cool to enjoy as a refreshing iced drink. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 48 hours.
